Bruce Schneier’s article on the IoT, and the danger it presents. Hits the highlights of security, crypto, and economic drive.
“The world-size robot is less designed than created. It’s coming without any forethought or architecting or planning; most of us are completely unaware of what we’re building. In fact, I am not convinced we can actually design any of this. When we try to design complex sociotechnical systems like this, we are regularly surprised by their emergent properties. The best we can do is observe and channel these properties as best we can.”

It’s a good article. Schneier makes good points.
I like Cory Doctorow’s perspective on the Internet of Things, including the EFF’s Apollo 1201 plan to get rid of DRM within 10 years. Here’s one place where he talks about it. http://craphound.com/news/2016/08/25/talking-about-the-pro-security-anti-drm-business-model-on-the-oreilly-radar-podcast/
